Publisher's Summary

At the age of 12, Eve Black was the only member of her family to survive an encounter with serial attacker the Nothing Man. Now an adult, she is obsessed with identifying the man who destroyed her life.

Supermarket security guard Jim Doyle has just started reading The Nothing Man - the true-crime memoir Eve has written about her efforts to track down her family’s killer. As he turns each page, his rage grows. Because Jim’s not just interested in reading about the Nothing Man. He is the Nothing Man.

Jim soon begins to realize how dangerously close Eve is getting to the truth. He knows she won’t give up until she finds him. He has no choice but to stop her first....

Hooked from the first chapter. I was obsessed with finishing it from the very beginning.

On the edge of my seat by the end

I really enjoyed this book. The story being split between two characters and then coming back to the one in the end. And all the secrets in it. Amazing. Will be looking for more books from this author

Magic first book

This author is absolutely incredible, I’ve enjoyed 3 of her works. They are all amazing. This one’s about bravery in the face of frustration. The healing process from a gruesome experience. It’s written backwards, chronologically, and is delightful. Well worth the credit. C.R.H hasn’t disappointed me yet.

The performances are even spookier when played at .7 speed
I’m looking forward to reading another book by Catherine Ryan Howard.

Read with caution

Creepy and unnerving, made me check my closets, doors and windows through the whole book. Made me jumpy and suspicious of strangers in my neighbourhood. Gave it 3 stars for story because of the creep factor.

Satisfying read and good actors

I liked this book. I liked the reminder from the author to remember to focus on the victims of crime and not just the criminals. Interesting perspective on the mediocrity of the antagonist.

Great Narrators!

Lovely narration, and a pretty great story. Not a conventional murder mystery, but very compelling all the same. The author has a lot of free work on audible, and it has all been great!

I kept forgetting if I was reading fiction or not!

When I was listening to Eve's book, The Nothing Man, I kept forgetting I was listening to fiction, not a biography! This novel of fiction, The Nothing Man, by Catherine Ryan Howard, was fantastic, as was the narration by Alana Kerr Collins and John Keating!! I loved the characters and their individualities; I was saddened and repulsed by others. I loved the story; and, beware the twist! Well done!
